Next, could it syncronize with another clock in count down mode to start at specific time so they run parallel ????

one is clock the other starts down and restarts please?????

Since it is so simple to synchronize the computer's clock with internet tme and thus having a true time of the day (undisputable)
and for the purpose of having a stopwatch running at the time of the day displaying and counting fractions of sec hundred HH:MM:ss,00
would it be possible to either have the clock showing this fashion
or the stopwatch to start at time of day that it reads for the machine.

I do manage to synchronize them manually but still as a human I fail most of the time and have to attempt it a few times to get it "almost" right

Thanks again for your attention and your trouble

Well. Let me leave this as is. Once anybody else suggests the format customization I will consider an implementation. For now I may hardcode the time & date display string you prefer.

I rarely know the date :-) Though I can usually tell the difference between AM/PM

Yes, default font has no letters outlines because there was no need for letters. I will update the font along with graphics - not soon.

Time is formatted according to user's Regional Settings. I thought it's the most adequate way, isn't it? Is a date so important? I think you always know current date. :) As for logging, the Results window contains the date of course.

Thanks, it looks great. You work quickly!

It would be nice to have a clock display to show time and (optionally) date with the same look and feel as the stopwatches and timers.
I know there are lots of other clock programs but XNote has a a very clear and flexible display (resizable, transparent, stay-on-top etc) and if XNote had a clock it would cover all my timing needs in one package.

Although I'm mainly interested in a simple clock display I imagine that Snap/Results Window could be used in the same way as the stopwatch for logging times, which would be useful for tracking work for invoicing. A time offset function might be useful too, so you could have clocks showing different time zones
